Dear all, in our case, the switch from OpenSSL to GnuTLS was surprisingly easy. Here you have the details: https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr/commit/18545077d84c02fe77b2a257a06f6d4456a1359f <https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr/commit/18545077d84c02fe77b2a257a06f6d4456a1359f>
GnuTLS provides the gnutls-openssl library, which is a partial implementation
of OpenSSL. The library is provided by the libgnutls28-dev package. This
compatibility layer is not complete and it is not intended to completely
re-implement the OpenSSL API with GnuTLS (it only provides limited source-level
compatibility), but it was enough for us.
Although our case was straightforward and we didn’t find any special obstacle,
I expect this could serve as a basis for other people switching from OpenSSL to
GnuTLS.
Best regards,
